That's Right, Curse the Press.

It is d notable fact that those who are loudest iu their denuncla- tions of the newspapers of the 1 country. are those who. desiring to in some way rob the people or commit an outrage npon society, have their little games frustrated and exposed by the press. The press is even more vi4ilant and powerful ill the suppression oi crime than the officers of the law, who are paid to do these things, and y ct the would be ''goody- good"
 portion of society are ever ready
 to criticise the press in an nngen-
 erous way, and encourage and
 support it in niggardly. begrndg
 ing manner. The press may and
 doubtless does do many things 1t
 ought not to do, but stop the pub
 lication of newspapers, and in SIX
 months, the peoples government
 would be plundered; corruption
 would rule the hour in higher pla-
 ces and thieves, outlaws and anar-
 chists sweep the country like a
 cyclone of fire and sword. On
 this subject the Fort Worth Even ing Mail truthfully remarks, that
 "the newspaper has now become
 as great terror to the evil doers
 as the law itself, and newspaper
 reporters are far more jealous in
 detecting crime and in tracking
 criminals than the officers of the
 law. The New York World has re-
 gently offered a reward of five hun
 dred dollars to any reporter who
 will furnish reliable clue to the mystery of the murder of an un-
 known girl in Railway, New Jer,
 sey, and no doubt some member ol
 the press will bring the criminal to justice. In very many cases now newspapers furnish the evidence
 upon which criminals are arrested and convicted, and in a great ma
 ny grades of crime and wrong-do ing the wrong Goer fears exposure in the newspapers more than any punishment which can be meted
 out to him. Some people com plain of newspapers because they publish what are deemed sensa tional exposures of the crooked ness of crooked people, but they do not stop to reflect what a pro , lection this is to society againS' those who are disposed to do 1t ln jury. When man has violated the sanctity of the home. or en gagged into a scheme to rob hl' neighbors under forms of law, h, would frequently go scot free ant
 unpunshed were he not branded and marked by newspaper expo !, sure. When you hear a man rail r ing at newspapers, you can gener ally set him down as one who ha been defeated in some gam , against his neighbors, and whos' villainy has been exposed by th' press. .n-Texarkana Daily Times

WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. l7, 1887,
 The latest quarterly report 0f the Bureau of Statistics contains tables showing the production and consumption of liquors, and esti- mates that S4S per capita per an mum, is paid hy the inhabitants of the United States for beverages. The report concludes that the con sumption of beer IS rapidly in creasing, and that of wine and spirits decreasing. In the United States Sl is paid tor liquor to ey- cry s17 paid for food, clothing and shelter. These official statements furnish solid argument for the tenn perance advocates.
 The President has been inter- viewed recently by several dele gates representing the Society of Friends from various states, with addresses in regard to the Canadian fisheries question. They strongly urge a settlement of the question in dispute by arbitration or by some other peaceful means, and deprecate any action under the provisions of the retaliatory bill which might possibly result in war. They also protest against the use of public funds for Notifications, naval vessels and munitions of war. These questions will be set tied amlcably, but whatever the final arbitrament may be, the dig. nity of the Nation will be main ed.
 The Indian Office has been greatly annoyed by receiving ap- plications from boarding house keepers in this city for the pay ment of board accounts. In a large number of cases members of Indian tribes come here without any authority from the Depart ment, and of course the Govern ment is in no way responsible tor the debts they contract When they come here with the sanction oi the Government representa- tive of the Indian Department meets them at the depot and con. ducts them to Il lodging place where authority is given to enter tain them and send the bill to the Department. Recently bill was presented to resident of this city for 360 days board for some In dian who came here on his own responsibility. It was rejected and the boarding house keeper is melancholy.
 The Government has just placed in the hands of the Chinese minis ter check for Si41 ,000, to indem- nify the sufferers from the Rock Springs (Wyoming) massacre. The money will be distributed by a commission appointed by the min ister.

The Newport News says Wash ington special to the Cincinnati Enquirer charges the defeat Of the Memphis bridge bill to Hon. Poln. dexter Dunn, who during the last hours of Congress took position near the Speaker, and whenever a member asked unanimous consent to suspend the rules and take up a bill for consideration, interposed objection; and that his opposition sprang from interested motives. Thus the bug under the chip is exposed, and bribery hinted as the means resorted to defeat this i'm portant measure, worth millions ot dollars to the State, Let the mat ter be investigated, and the guilty parties hf any there be) made to suffer the penalty of the law. The News closed it's article as follows: "The bridge is worth millions of dollars to the State of Arkansas, and is of the greatest importance to the people of this, the first con gressional district. But all this weighs nothing with Dunn when he has selfish end to gratify. He never expects to be elected to Congress again and he means to to make most of his present posi- ton, which he holds by accident"

ARK, April l6, 1887
 Editor PIcAYUNE: In your ls- sue of March 23rd, appears the fol- ! lowing from your kosston coorres- pondent, "Werdna:n "Ah, it seems that whisky yields powerful in- huence. when it comes to one solid country changing markets, as is be- ing done by this community at large. Think of it, Presc0ttites. How often do you see that.train of wagons from the Rosston neigh borhood! You don't see them, but go to Camden or Hope and you will find them. Does whisky cause the changer
 The injunction, Think of 1t, Prescottites,o has caused us to think great deaf about it; and af- ter canvassing the matter well, we are forced to the conclusion that our friend must have been mistak- en when he framed the above par aeraph, for surely it cannot be true. If it is, we have not seen or heard any evidence of it.
 "One solid country changing marketsw o, for revival of re- ligeousness, or the day ofjudgment "a Sodom or Gomorrah scene that would cause a general refor- nation of truth. But is it so? Ask good people about It it, and see if they don't disclaim 1t tat large'- all the territory covered by prohi- bition. 0, Lord, save Prescott, if it can be done without whisky; If not, let her collapse.
 "Think of it,' a community vot- ing in favor of prohibition, in three months going solid to Camden or Hope for whisky. How improba- ble. "Think of it," community, that prohibition is deeply rooted and ground in the hearts of the people, and the general sentiment is fast growing in favor of it. X few may have done this; there are and has been a few that will go anywhere for whisky; would even trespass upon the domain of his satanic majesty to obtain it. Think of it,r Prescott. Is not all the whisky advocates striving to turn away your trade; but if they do, think how glad and thankful our people are that whisky is prohibit, ed in your limits; think too, of our 1 fathers and mothers who had i drunken boys; of the fathers tears and the mothers groans that are heard no more; think too, that sis ter can now accompany her brother to your town without being mort flied by having to drag brother from the ditch; think, too, of the drunken yell and the shooting of pistols along our highways that is no longer heard; think, too, of our noble hearted, intelligent, sober boys. who used to roll in the mire, now thronging our churches for worship, attending our prayer meetings, and are members of our Sabbath schools. "Think of it'-what a change, and what wrought it: what transformed our young men from disturbers of the public peace, religious congrega- tions and all sorts of misdemean- ors, to peaceful and law abiding citizens? Think, then, of the men who would have us sell our bright, intelligent boys, as Judas did our Savior, for money.
 Think of all this. if you can, then do as our neighbours wife did when her husband came home sober, at the proper time: ''Thank God for prohibition"
 Let all work with renewed ener- gy, until the idols of the Sodom of Ouachita, and Gomorrah ot Hemp stead counties, are overthrown. On with the work.
 Yours truly,
